The simple pendulum is an example of a system that exhibits oscillatory motion.

An Introduction to Computer Simulation Methods
Chapter 4: Oscillations

 

We explore the behavior of oscillatory systems, including the simple harmonic oscillator, a simple pendulum, and electrical circuits and we introduce the concept of phase space. We also show how the EJS ODE editor is used to solve arrays of differential equations.
